The crowd gave a standing ovation to Modi when he referred the abrogation of Article 370 of the Indian constitution giving special privileges to Kashmir. Modi responded to the crowd by saying “Good deeds will certainly echo”. “India has taken a massive decision to free itself from separatism and terrorism.”He said that the transformation in India in the past five years is the reason that his government got a bigger mandate in the 2019 general elections.

He also observed the close ties between India and Thailand should definitely be dated back to Lord Rama and linked the etymology of Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya the birthplace of Lord Ram to Thailand’s Ayothaya an ancient city in the province of Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya.PM Modi said Lord Ram is the epitome of an Indian ethical perfection. The Hindu gods of Garuda-Lord Vishnu’s mount and Lord Hanuman also found mention, as Thai’s worship them implying a cultural and religious bond.
